Summary: Truly authentic
Review: This is truly authentic and inspiring stuff. The writing is simple and down to earth. While Jenny has no intention of forcing reincarnation down any one's throat, her painstaking documentation will hopefully make believers out of die hard non-believers. I also hope that this book will help people open their minds to a higher and more universal truth. Truth that some religious institutions have, willfully and deliberately, suppressed for more than 15 centuries.

Summary: A good book by a good friend, this book is a classic.
Review: Writing a review for this book is a daunting task. How can I encompass how much this book has meant to me all these years and how much my friendship with the author, Jenny Cockell, has shaped me? If only I had a nickel for every time I have taken a friend, or even a bookstore employee, to the "metaphysical" section and proudly displayed this book for them, and if only I had a proper place to store the heap of letters I have accumulated from Jenny . . . This book is fascinating and is about a fascinating topic, perhaps the first of its kind. Written in a very down-to-earth manner, it is also highly readable. Jenny details her memories, which she has had since childhood, of her life as Mary Sutton in Ireland; and then she details her research of Mary Sutton's life and her eventual reunion with Mary's children, Jenny's "past life" children. All of which make this one of the most unique books, and case histories, ever published. You enter a new world by reading this book, a world where love does not die. Jenny continues to write and do interviews regarding her past life as Mary Sutton, and she has written a sequel to this book entitled "Past Lives, Future Lives" in which she details other past lives and what she believes will be her future lives. A made-for-TV movie has been made based upon "Across Time and Death," and it was aired last year under the title "Yesterday's Children" (which was the original title of this book when published in the UK) with Jane Seymour playing Jenny. A sad note to this story is that Sonny, the oldest of the Sutton children, the one who believed outright that Jenny is the reincarnation of his mother, recently died. Even though I had never met him, he has been a peripheral part of my life for a while now and I was sad to receive this news. (Pictures of Sonny are shown in the middle section of this book, as well as pictures of Jenny with other members of her "past life" family). This book is indispensable for anyone interested in reincarnation, spirituality, "New Age" philosophy, or just a good and interesting book. I am very thankful for this book, in fact, I don't know where or who I'd be without it.
